Nearly 1 million people live in the basin. Hydrological studies have been performed in the Salado basin, principally in the Azul, Buenos Aires creek basin by the Instituto de Hidrologia de Llanuras de Azul.〔(Instituto de Hidrologia de Llanuras de Azul )〕 Ecological studies have been done by the Ecology group of Facultad de Agronomía de la UNICEN.〔(Ecología Regional )〕〔(Facultad de Agronomía—UNICEN )〕 In the 19th century, before the Conquest of the Desert, the Salado River served as frontier boundary between the Spanish colonised lands and those still under control of the indigenous peoples.
